The characters are vividly portrayed, and you get a real sense of what it must have been like on that fateful night of April 1912. Woven into the story is John Bunyan's Christian and the concept of laying down your burdens, something both characters must do in order to achieve their hopes and dreams.Italiahttp://raisingselfesteem.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-26577052760516085802012-03-28T15:17:18.023-07:002012-03-28T15:17:18.023-07:00Can't wait to read the book!!Can't wait to read the book!!The K.

It makes me think of when I went to Nantucket to see where some of my ancestors came from. On the way back, we had a powerful storm. I got excited too, my husband was worried about us being tosses about and the rolling of the waves but I thought of ancestors having the same experience and I felt so connected to them.<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comCarol N Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873206816286352639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-25491263054838796782012-02-18T22:25:14.115-08:002012-02-18T22:25:14.115-08:00Hi Cathy, Great interview and first page of Promis...Hi Cathy, Great interview and first page of Promise Me This.

Each of us was given a passenger info card and at the end, we saw if we lived or died. We got to touch an iceberg, see pieces that survived and hear the stories.

I'm delighted and truly honored.<br /><br />You're absolutely right, Kristi, perseverance is only of value if we're walking in the Spirit's leading, if what we're doing is part of God's plan for our lives. It's easy, as you say, to persist because we think we know best. <br />My concern is for writers or readers who feel easily discouraged--something so easy to happen in this life. We need the Lord's leading in everything we do, and we also need to stay the course when He's made His will clear to us. It's easy to get caught up in listening to negative voices--those of others, or our own.<br />Two questions that have helped me re. this are:<br />Does this path bring honor and glory to God?<br />Do I have peace about this choice?<br /><br />Thank you all for responding so enthusiastically! God bless you!Cathy Gohlkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01599452167005667174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-88763893836025542372012-02-18T06:38:12.883-08:002012-02-18T06:38:12.883-08:00This book sounds great.

Amazing! Perseverance is an admirable quality - as long as it is part of God's plan. Sometimes I get stubborn and continuing on the wrong path just because I have free will and I think I know better what should happen. Not very smart. *LOL* I'm from Ohio. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812730250697992433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-65134214690679462082012-02-17T14:28:50.882-08:002012-02-17T14:28:50.882-08:00Great Book!
